Outside, snow fell down from the sky slowly, covering the ground in a white blanket. The church bells rang as a wedding was about to begin. Today was supposed to be the happiest day of Asliana's life… The day that the young woman married the man of her dreams, Alexander Marshall.
The young woman took a deep breath, and started to walk down the aisle, heading towards her soon-to-be husband and the pastor who would be wedding them. Her father also stood at the front next to Alexander. Asliana's face was covered by a veil, and her white dress moved ever so slightly as she slowly walked down the aisle. She stopped next to Alexander, both facing the pastor as he began the ceremony.
Alexander turned to face Asliana, taking her hands in his as they finished their wedding vows. "Do you, Alexander Marshall, take Asliana Halle as your lawfully wedded wife?" the pastor asked, looking directly at the groom.
Alexander smiled, looking directly at Asliana. "I d-" But, before he could finish, a loud sound could be heard outside. Almost as if something heavy had fallen from the sky near the church. Then, within seconds, a gaping hole was ripped in the church's ceiling by large, black claws. Asliana's eyes widened as she turned around to see a large, red dragon staring directly at her and Alexander. She was frozen in fear as the dragon reached for her, but she was pushed back by Alexander just before the dragon could grab her. But, he not only saved the young bride… He also gave his life to save hers.
Asliana watched, frozen in fear as the dragon's claws wrapped around Alexander and lifted him up out of the church. She watched in terror as the man that she was to marry was torn to shreds. The only sound she made was a scream as guards dragged her away from the scene, her eyes swelling with tears.
---------------
Asliana took a deep breath and glanced back at those she had convinced to work with her to complete her goal, her long, black hair being blown by the wind. Her gaze was then directed to the cave that the group had gathered in front of. A fire could be seen illuminating the cave from the back. Silently, Aliana stepped inside to see the dragon that resided there sleeping. She gave a quick nod to those who were with her, and lightning began to crackle in her hands.
Almost as quickly as the spark formed, she launched it at the dragon, awakening it. As the dragon woke, Asliana unsheathed her sword and pointed it at the dragon. "Prepare to meet your true fate, vile creature," she said, glaring at the dragon before her.
The dragon pushed himself to his feet, and glared at the group of Dragon Slayers. Seeing the hostility in the way they stood and looked at him, the dragon sighed. "You lot don't know wha-" Before he could finish, Asliana had already launched another charge of electricity at him.
With that, a battle between them broke out. After a long, and seemingly impossible battle, Asliana made the final blow on the dragon, slaying him then and there. As she did so, a look of determination entered her gaze. Any doubts she had about doing this disappeared… All of her hard work over the past couple of years had not gone to waste, and she knew from then on, she would be able to accomplish her goal, which was to seek out, and kill, the dragon that had caused her so much pain and misery over the years, as well as kill any other dragon that stood in her path...
Plot Summary
This roleplay takes place in Medieval times, in a land where magic, dragons, etc. exists. In this time, a group of dragon slayers has risen to remove the, what they think to be, vile creatures known as dragons from the world. With the first dragon having been slain, news has traveled quickly. As such, a small group of dragons has come together to track down and stop these dragon slayers, though will they be able to stop them in a semi-peaceful manner? Or will an unavoidable fight break out? With both parties almost assured to meet eventually, it's only a matter of time until the fate of the dragons is decided...
Setting
The roleplay takes place in a Medieval setting, in a world filled with magical creatures, magic, and much more. The climate of the land that this roleplay takes place in, which is called Havenedge, depends on where you're located. The more northern regions are covered in mountains, ice, and snow. The rivers that flow through this region are almost always frozen. The ocean in the northern regions is home to several glaciers, and the ocean is often times hazarded with ice, even in the summer, spring, and autumn.
The more southern regions are warmer, though it occasionally snows in the winter. The land is bordered with sandy beaches, and fishing is much more common when you're closer to the coast. Several temperate forests are located in this region, which are filled with deer, and other game to be hunted. The land is also dotted with several lakes, rivers, and farms.
The Northern Region is home to the city of Snow Grotto in the northwest near the coast. This city's economy is focused on what is caught in the region's freezing ocean. Aeroshill is located in the northeast, near one of Havenedge's many mountain ranges. This city's economy is based off of the mines, which are underneath, and inside the mountains which surround the city.
The Southern Region holds the city of Sandymont, which is located along the southern coast, towards the center. This city's economy is based on fishing and trading with other lands. The city of Crossbere is located beyond one of the Southern Regions' many forests, and is located more to the southeast. This city's economy is focused around the farms that surround the city, and hunting in the near-by forest.
The capital city, Earthbriar, is located in the center of Havenedge. Though it's chillier than the Southern Region, it's not quite as cold as the Northern Region. Earthbriar's economy is based on tourism, as several people visit the capitol city each day. This city is also home to several wealthy people, including the King and Queen, which watch over Havenedge as a whole. Several farms also surround the city.
Havenedge is also dotted with several villages, who's economy's are based off of whatever city they are closest to.

My Characters
Asliana
Spoiler:
Name: Asliana Halle
Age: 25
Appearance:
Personality: Asliana is the kind of person that you would rarely see joking around, and is very serious. She tends to take things too far, and is very stubborn in her beliefs, and firmly believes that all dragons are foul creatures, and that they are all the same. Though to most she can come off as cold, or even rude, Asliana is actually a very nice person who truly cares about those that are close to her. She's also very calm and collected, and is also rather difficult to anger. Though it is not an easy task to earn her trust and respect, it is one that would be worth it in the end.
History: Asliana grew up in a small village that was nestled near the mountains in the northern regions. Though snow was almost always on the ground, life was still simple and peaceful for herself, her family, and everyone that lived in the village. As Asliana aged, she learned to be a proper lady, being taught how to do household things by her mother, whilst her father trained the boys of the village in the ways of combat and fighting, teaching them each how to fight with a sword and shield. Of course, being the lady that she was, Asliana showed no interest in fighting.
Years passed. A few months after the young woman had turned twenty, the day that she thought would be the happiest day of her life rolled around. It was to be her wedding day. Snow fell lightly from the sky, and almost everyone that lived in the village had gathered in the church to attend to the wedding service. It was to be a joyful day for everyone, until tragedy struck. Just as Alexander, Asliana's fiance, was about to say "I do,", there was a loud noise outside, as if something had fallen from the sky.
Within seconds, a hole was torn in the church's roof, and Asliana had been pushed aside by Alexander. The young woman watched in terror as the dragon tore her fiance to pieces, tears in her eyes as she was dragged away by the town's guards.
For months, it was nearly impossible to get the once kind and bubbly young womanl to do anything. Obviously depressed by the events of her wedding, Asliana had closed herself off from almost everyone, aside from her mother and father, whom she would barely even speak with. Her parents worried about her, and had no clue what they could do to cheer their daughter up… That is, until one day, Asliana approached her father.
With a deep breath, Asliana looked up at him, a look of determination on her face. "Father," she started, obviously very sure of what he wanted. "I want to learn how to fight with a weapon. I want to be able to defend myself should something like what happened arise again. I couldn't stand to just stand there and watch, unable to do nothing… I felt so… useless.."
She watched as her parents gave her a look of utter shock. A woman learning to use a weapon was unheard of! "Asliana…." her father began, unsure of what to say to his daughter's request. "Do you know wha-"
"I know very well what I'm asking, Father," she replied, cutting him off. "This is what I truly want," she added, looking him right in the eyes. "I know that what I'm asking is unheard of, but I do not want to feel useless like I did at my wedding." As she spoke, her voice gained a tone of pure confidence.
After a moment of pure silence, Asliana's father sighed, and nodded reluctantly. "If this is what you really want…. Then I guess it would be wrong of me to say no," he replied. "We will begin tomorrow," he added with a small smile.
Starting the next day, Asliana and her father worked one on one, him teaching her how to properly fight with a sword, and block attacks with a shield. Though the young woman would often times find herself bruised, she didn't care. She was getting what she wanted. The ability to protect herself, and also those that she cared about… As months went on, Asliana discovered that, along with the use of her weapon, she also had magical capabilities. To be more specific, Asliana could perform Electromancy.
Soon, Asliana was as skilled a fighter as almost all of the men of her village. Of course, the woman refused to work as a guard… Instead, another intention entered her mind. Revenge. She wanted to avenge the life of her fiance, and, to do so, she would need to kill the dragon that had ruined her wedding… With that decision, Asliana left her home in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, and went out in search of the dragon. But, not only the dragon that had caused her so much pain… No, Asliana took it a step further to believe that all dragons were like that, and made it her mission to purge the world of the so-called 'vile' creatures.
After meeting several people, and creating a small group of travelers who all shared the same intentions as she, Asliana set off to slay their first dragon… A battle ensured, and Asliana, along with her comrades, came out victorious… Though the battle was won… the war had only begun.
Powers/Abilities: Asliana is capable of performing Electromancy, and can create electricity in her hands to launch at a target. She also has a 'sixth sense' for locating dragons, which works as a sort of feeling in her gut when a dragon is near.
Weapon(s): She uses a one-handed sword given to her from her father.
Other: She's the 'leader' of the Dragon Slayers.

Arima
Spoiler:
Name: Arima
Age: 548,976
Appearance in dragon form:
Appearance in human form: Arima has dark purple hair that comes just below her shoulders and amber eyes. She normally has her hair tucked behind her ears to keep it out of her face. She stands at about 5'5", making her a little shorter than 'average' height.
History: As a hatchling, compared to her two brothers, Arima was the runt. Being small and physically weak, the young dragon was constantly put down by both of her stronger siblings. Arima, starting to get sick of the way her brothers were treating her, started to pick fights with them herself. Though she would lose every time, each fight, she would learn something. One of those things being that, even though she was weak physically, her magical abilities were much stronger than theirs.
After discovering this, the dragon took the time to practice and hone her skills; manipulating shadows, and moving things around with them. After learning how to control her magical abilities, Arima challenged one of her brothers to yet another fight. But, instead of going in with tooth and claw, shadows wrapped around her brother, holding him in place. She stood right in front of him, a small smirk on her face. "You said that there was no way that I could beat you," she said, her eyes glimmering. "But, what you don't know is that I've already won this fight." As she said the last words, she opened her mouth to release a shadow ball aimed directly at her brother, whom was still held in place.
He cringed as Arima's attack hit him head on. Arima's brother looked at her with pleading eyes. "I- I'm sorry…" he whispered. "Y- you win.." he added quickly. As he said that Arima had won, the dragon was released from his hold. She walked up to him and smirked.
"Goes to show you that, just because I'm small, it doesn't mean I'm weak," she growled, walking away from him.
As Arima aged, her abilities grew stronger and more potent. But, she also became more arrogant and condescending because of this.
Personality: Arima is very condescending, and thinks herself to be superior to almost everyone else, aside from those who are much older than she is. She believes that, with age, comes knowledge, and that she is instantly more knowledgeable than anyone who's younger than she is. Of course, aside from her condescending attitude, Arima can also be fairly pleasant to be around at times. She's quick to state her opinion, and refuses to be left unspoken. She has a bad habit to speak out of turn and interrupt someone.
Powers/Abilities: Arima has control over darkness, and has the ability to make an area go completely dark, see in the dark, and even launch shadow balls from her mouth. She can also manipulate shadows to take on any shape that she wishes, and can 'solidify' them to restrain someone or something.
